abstract：:Gastro-oesophageal pH measurements are routinely carried out to quantify and determine if levels of acid reflux are responsible for symptoms. Although considered the 'gold standard', evidence suggests that pH measurements do not correlate well with the degree of oesophagitis seen during endoscopy. In this study the cu...
